heart attack/stroke info

What is the danger heart rate and pulse rate just prior to heart attack or stroke?

[cindy707]

Its not so much of what your heart rate reads as much as it is the symtoms (symptoms) that you are exhibiting....there are so many factors that figure into this....what meds you are on, what health issues you have that are pre existing.....but.....typically prior to a stroke the issue to watch for is your blood pressure not so much the pulse.  Atypically stokes can and are caused by an extremely elevated blood pressure...as far as heart attacks go studies have shown that it basically falls on the person whom it is happening to....some people note a decreased heart rate and others an elevated so there really isn't rhyme or reason immediately prior to either incident.  The heart however does tend to try to compensate for the body during the event because it is being forced to work harder....i don't know if i answered your question the way that you wanted but more times than none the blood pressure is actually what the telling tale is.......
